After selling his farm to his brother Charles, Peleg moved his family from Westerly R.I. to Berlin, Rennselaer Co., N.Y. in the fall of 1796. On about 23 Feb 1811 they moved west to Sweden, Monroe Co., N.Y. where he bought a 290 acre farm. In 1814, during the war, a General Izard(?) was marching to Niagara to defend the frontier against British forces in Canada.
